About Me

I am an NAWT certified inspector with over 10 years experience in the field of septic installation and repair. The majority of my clients reside in Boulder county. In September 2008, when the Property Transfer Regulation became enacted, I anticipated the need for independent inspectors who acted with integrity and a commitment to thoroughness.

It is prudent to inspect at or before the time of listing your property with a realtor. A timely inspection will provide you with peace of mind and give you one less thing to do during the regular selling process.

Waiting until you have a buyer for your home can potentially delay or prevent a scheduled closing. It can take 14 days to receive a Property Transfer Certificate.

Minor repairs necessitate scheduling with licensed installers and some require permits and this takes time.

A septic system that has been inspected and approved is appealing to the buyer whereas a system that has not yet been inspected and involves unknowns may provide the buyer with some leverage when it comes to negotiations on the price of the home.

Effective September 1, 2008 Boulder County began requiring that all existing septic systems be satisfactorily operating and approved by a licensed inspector at the time of purchase and sale. As a Boulder County approved NAWT certified inspector, upon completion of my inspection you will receive: a certificate of operation or detailed report with recommendations on how to update your system to obtain a certificate.
